Out of interest, what is racist about the name Cole Train?
I just thought it was a slightly clever play on the name Coltrane.
Agreed. Unless they totally revamp GTA Sleeping Dogs is going to be better. The driving, shooting, and fighting is all pretty bad in GTA and it was all pretty great in Sleeping Dogs. And the gameplay isn't better in Sleeping Dogs because it was made four years after GTAIV, GTA gameplay has always been mediocre.It's also gonna beat 2013's GTA.
Jesus, why are you so angry?
What mechanics in Sleeping Dogs are new? Eating pork buns and jumping out of a moving car to highjack a different car?
Sleeping Dogs is a really polished alternative GTA. It borrows heavily and for the most part the mechanics felt tight and fun enough to keep people interested. So far GTA V is a huge departure from past GTA's due to the character swapping on the fly while exploring and at times swapping between protagonists during missions.
Sure, that element was taken from Driver San Francisco essentially, but the potential for that mechanic alone could make the open world genre feel fresh again.
I don't think people would really care if it wasn't actually funny in the process, which it largely is, or at least amusing in its absurdity.

It's his favorite game cut him some slack.
Congrats on a 2012 game beating a 2008 game.
There's a difference between chainsawing a monster in half in an action game that centres around violence, and dildoing a man to death, or spraying poo out of a truck. One's intended to be funny, which is depressing.

No, no, no, and no. Saints row does *not* need to become a more Mann/HEAT/Collateral/Training Day. Fuck no. Terrible, terrible idea and a surefire way to kill it.
Saint's Row filled the crazy void Rockstar left with GTA4. Its been an excellent balance. Being embarrassed because of your wife walked has little to do with the game, and sounds more about some insecurities.

Boyz in the Hood can exist in the same universe as Don't be a Menace.

what does this even mean? as if the time difference is somehow supposed to lessen the merit of a really good game? or that a game can't be held up as the competing standard because of the year it came out?

I find it interesting to see the different reactions to a subject like this. I'm sure we all read the many Spike TV VGA threads last year and the year before that. Most people and I imagine a few in this thread were decrying how the VGA's were trying too hard and how embarrassing and juvenile they were for gamers everywhere.
Saints Row 3 is the VGA's in game form. Crude, juvenile and dumb. An unfocused scattershot approach to humour to see what sticks.
I personally don't care if the game has a purple dildo, but you can't be posting how ashamed you are as a gamer as someone gets teabagged on stage then jump onto a game playing on the same sense of 'wacky' 'humour'.
all I know is every GTA game after 2 bored me to death so much i never bothered after about 10 hours. SR3 (which is my first SR game) was so good i finished it.
The dildo was optional and I never saw it during my playthough because it was an inferior weapon. Even then I dont give a fuck. I know from asking my wife that she also thought SR3 was way more fun to watch. She thought GTA4 was boring at every point she witnessed. Maybe CliffyB needs to stop stereotyping women.
The bolded matters. Sleeping Dogs has better mechanics than GTA IV, which shouldn't be surprising considering how long and far this gen has been going. Hell, on a mechanical level Sleeping Dogs beats every 3D GTA.
Yep, any game without dildo's is a generic action game. That's definitely what he said.Yes, make a generic action sandbox game, that's how you stick out from the crowd!
The driving in GTA is seriously terrible. The physics are totally off. Sleeping Dogs had a variety of cars that all controlled differerently but comfortable to me. Even the parts where you jump off a car and highjack another one there is a great delay of control while you're slipping into the drivers seat where the car swerves and you have to settle the car down.This is a load of shit. The driving was crap in SD in comparison to GTAIV even; shooting was abysmal. The only redeeming quality was the hand to hand combat.
Yeah, we already have a million takes on that serious style of sandlot game which I don't mind (I loved Sleeping Dogs), but if there is another style that the genre can have that works, why not have it? I wouldn't want them all to be Sleeping Dogs and I'm glad that there is something different in the same genre. I'm even more excited that it's actually good. I like HEAT/Collateral/Training Day, but I like I'm Gonna Get You Sucka too/Austin Powers/Naked Gun/Airplane as well. I'm glad we have both styles.No, no, no, and no.

That is all fine and great! Until Cliffy fucking B writes or directs anything of any kind of artistic worth I am obliged to say he can shut the fuck up about this subject.
